Treatment and study plan

Recumbent Bike

Device

The first group will exercise with a recumbent bike for 20 minutes, 3 sessions/week for 6 weeks.

Upright Bike

Device

The first group will exercise with a upright bike for 20 minutes, 3 sessions/week for 6 weeks.

Primary outcomes

  1. Baseline knee joint cartilage thickness and muscles thicknesses

    Time frame: Just before first exercises session

    Ultrasonographic measurements will be made using linear probes (5-13 megahertz Logiq P5; GE Medical Systems) .Joint cartillage thickness and lower extremity muscles will measured by ultrasound at baseline.

  2. Knee cartilage thickness and muscles thicknesses after 6 weeks training program

    Time frame: After 6 weeks training program

    Ultrasonographic measurements will be made using linear probes (5-13 megahertz Logiq P5; GE Medical Systems) .Joint cartillage and lower extremity muscles will measured by ultrasound after 6 weeks training program. Joint cartillage thickness and lower extremity muscles will measured by ultrasound after 6 weeks.
